If the previous attack was just a small test of Shepard's ability to create divisions, then next, he dispatched the regular combat forces of Shadow Company to put a match in this tense powder keg.
Shepard doesn't care what happens to the Angolan people. All he cares about is control of the central oil region, and if he wants to gain control, he must do something!
The Huey fleet, which had been prepared very early and had carefully studied and simulated the route, was fully loaded with personnel and supplies and flew more than 200 kilometers in one go. It may take a few surface-to-air missiles, but the Portuguese Air Force has only about 150 combat aircraft in Angola, and the territory it is responsible for is as large as Western Europe. Therefore, the sky on the northern border is basically equivalent to the main road. , others can leave when they want and come when they want.
The mercenary who had been lurking in the target area had marked the plains long ago. When he contacted the helicopter fleet via radio and heard the sound of the rotors in the darkness, he immediately lit the huge guidance mark on the ground. .
Several huge flaming arrows appeared on the grassland like galloping wild horses, and the huge logo even illuminated half of the sky. However, although the fire was raging, there was no risk of spreading. The mercenaries had already cleared the isolation zone.
Under the guidance of ground signs, the Huey fleet flying in tandem quickly landed. Immediately afterwards, teams of fully armed people quickly jumped out of the cabin, and then unloaded the material boxes tied up in the cabin.
Within a moment, the entire Apple team had completed the landing. After the weapons and ammunition were unloaded, the helicopter fleet immediately climbed up and returned along the original path. The Apple team quickly wiped away the traces, and then quickly led by the mercenaries. disappearing into the hilly terrain.
"Call the castle, a is already in place!"
"Did anything happen?"
"No, we are proceeding according to the planned plan and we expect to arrive at the target area in one hour!"
"Then execute as planned!"
As the first combat unit established by Shadow Company, the specialness of the Apple unit is self-evident. It is like the first legion or the first brigade. They have the best equipment in the company, and the ratio of snipers is also the best. They are the highest in the company, and sending them out is enough to show Shepard's determination.
The Apple detachment ran for more than 20 kilometers overnight. After passing through a forest, it stopped at the edge of the forest. Then, the detachment commander picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
I saw bright lights on the other side of the horizon. It was a simple train station that connected the central oil field area. The heavy oil extracted from the ground was loaded onto the train here and then transported to the seaport.
Although the black uncles are usually reluctant to eat or drink, they are quite serious about oil extraction. Relying on the day and night work of the black uncles and the advanced mining equipment purchased from the United Kingdom, this seemingly not big oil field can produce oil every day. Nearly one hundred tons of crude oil can be mined. Although it is not a fortune, the profit is enough to last a lifetime.
It's a pity that now this golden rice bowl that I can just sit back and eat is gone!
Shepard was not prepared to attack the oil field directly, as that would damage the mining facilities. If the oil well was destroyed during the battle, it would be great fun. What he wanted to destroy was the channel. ….
The previous attack on the servant army was just an appetizer. If you want the Portuguese and the servant army to fight on their own, you have to start from their common interests. After all, brothers will fight to the death for three points of profit, not to mention the two groups of estranged people. Where are the people!
It was still early and the train had not yet entered the station. The busy people in the train station were oil workers and servant soldiers. The Portuguese set up two cordons outside the train station. The first one was an ordinary iron mesh fence. Warning signs were also set up, but there were no patrols. After all, most people would not dare to come to this kind of place.
The second cordon is a two-meter-high concrete wall with a sentry tower. There are searchlights on the sentry tower, but these facilities are just decorations, because no one has thought of this train station for so many years, so they are responsible for it. The guards guarding this place are used to being perfunctory. As long as the officer is not around, everyone starts to fish and compete.
These ineffective warning facilities
Just like an ajar door, it can protect against gentlemen, but it cannot protect against villains, let alone military contractors carrying recoilless rifles and anti-tank rocket launchers.
But the Apple team was not confident enough to launch a decisive charge on the plain. It took ten minutes or more to rush across the two-kilometer plain without cover, and then fight with the black uncles who had been prepared for it. The sky is dark and the earth is dark.
No one would do this. A gun in the hands of a three-year-old child is as powerful as a gun in the hands of a thirty-year-old adult. Although these servants may seem like scumbags, they are also rare elites who can defeat the enemy only after they meet them. Although it is impossible to fight to the death with the contractor, it can still be done by firing a few shots to build up a momentum worthy of the wages given by the Portuguese.
What's more, the black uncles still have fortifications. Although no one is on duty at those sentry towers and shooting bunkers, the speed of people in these positions is far faster than sprinting across the plains.
What's more, attacking fortresses has never been Shepard's choice. A brutal flesh-and-blood mill battle with the enemy is a nightmare for all commanders, not to mention that the team is led by Captain Lee, who was born in the Rangers.
Unlike most of the Vietnamese army, the South Vietnamese Rangers are a rare firefighting team with many outstanding results. Unfortunately, their teammates are too weak to lead them. However, after arriving in Africa, Captain Li is like a fish in water. After all, the people here are Compared to Vietnam, the battle environment is simply heaven.
"These guys, if I can contact an artillery regiment, I don't have to do this, I can have them all in the sky in five minutes!"
"But we don't have any. How about trying those two cannons?"
The team commander on the side pointed to the two dismantled recoilless rifles. Since the Battle of the River Valley, they couldn't put down this powerful baby. For this reason, Shepard bought a few more, in addition to the 106 In addition to high-explosive bombs, he even produced a dozen small yellow bombs used to hit tanks, which are also commonly known as armor-breaking bombs, but those ammunition have no chance to be used at the moment.
"I'll throw you over with a slingshot!"
Captain Li slapped the deputy on the butt, knocked the beret off his head, and said angrily.
"Inform all squad leaders to come and gather for a meeting. We need to prepare for action!"
The deputy then took the radio and began calling the units. .
Ghosts never get lost
